It may take until late in the transfer window for the Brazilian situation at Manchester City to be resolved | OneFootball

It has appeared for some time now that if Savinho left Manchester City for Tottenham, then Real Madrid winger Rodrygo will replace him. It has long seemed to be a case of one Brazilian international in and one out at City. Over the past 24 hours, there have been a host of updates regarding Savinho and Rodrygo’s futures. Here is a look at the latest updates and what they could mean ahead of the transfer window closing in under two weeks.

A prominent Manchester City board member is blocking Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham.

Fabrizio Romano has reported via his YouTube channel that a prominent City board member is blocking Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham. Furthermore, Romano reports that Savinho is keen to move to Spurs. But the Brazilian winger isn’t prepared to break his relationship with City to force a move. Whether or not that stalemate over Savinho’s future changes remains to be seen.

Rodrygo is reportedly looking at houses in Manchester.

As Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham is on hold, an interesting update surrounding Rodrygo has emerged. City Xtra Português reports that people close to Rodrygo have been looking at houses in Manchester in recent weeks. It is further reported that Manchester City have contacted Rodrygo over a move to the Etihad. But his potential move to the Etihad is held up by the situation surrounding Savinho.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Savinho leave City and Rodrygo arrive late in the transfer window.

As of right now, the Savinho situation appears to be on hold. The only way the Brazilian international could move to Tottenham is if the prominent City board members’ stance changes. Whether or not it does remains to be seen. Perhaps it will if, as reported, Rodrygo’s camp is looking at homes in Manchester. That could mean that Rodrygo’s potential move to City is further along than first thought. Or it could simply be a case of Rodrygo’s entourage covering their bases in case Manchester City do move to sign him from Real Madrid.

One thing is certain. The speculation over Savinho and Rodrygo’s futures will likely continue until the summer transfer window closes. There is now daily updates on the pair and however the situation plays out Manchester City will have a talented Brazilian winger in their squad. Whether it’s Savinho or Rodrygo remains to be seen.
